Hire the ball machine
If you want to go solo with your practise session, why not hire our ball machine?

It holds 150 balls and has various programmes. It even has a remote control so you can set it without having to go round the net to change the programme.
To hire the machine, please call Gary on 07855 196973 or email gjoates@sky.com. Gary will set it up for you and show you how to use it, then collect it after your session.
The cost for hire is £25.00 payable direct to Gary, (plus a £4.00 guest fee if you’re not a club member).
